Editor’s Note: In our ongoing efforts to
bring new and informative stories to our
readership we’ve recently launched free
eBooks for download at www.durhamre-
gion.com. The latest download is by Reka
Szekely and Christy Chase, titled From the
Ground Up, an eBook about local garden-
ing. What follows is part of the foreword
from the book. We hope you enjoy it.
Gardening is one of the most satisfying
things to do.
Spend an hour or two in the garden and
stresses, irritations and bad moods dis-
appear. Sure, you might end up with blis-
tered hands, bruised knees and a sore
back, but those are minor problems com-
pared with how good you feel mentally
and spiritually.
I started gardening as a child when my
mom gave me a little chunk of garden to
plant and tend. I planted petunias, if I
remember correctly, and gardening root-
ed in my soul for good. Over the years
since, I’ve gardened off and on, enjoying
the flowers I planted and nurtured and
the peace they brought to me.
I put in bulbs, annuals, perennials.
Hostas, Solomon’s seal, iris, geraniums,
sedum, coneflowers, alyssum, tulips, daf-
fodils and impatiens. I just planted what-
ever I wanted and it grew, mostly. If it
didn’t, I grew something else. I did my
research as far as sun and shade, dry and
wet went, but I never really gave much
thought to the soil. After talking to the
experts for this book, I realized I was rath-
er lucky to have good soil that didn’t need
amending.
I no longer have a garden but my balco-
ny has flower-filled containers every sum-
mer, both annuals and perennials since I
like taking chances with things like hos-
tas. I help my oldest sister with her garden
from time to time.
On weekends, I take walks through my
neighbourhood and during the growing
season, I check out everyone’s front gar-
dens for what’s growing and blossoming.
Over the years, I’ve come to the conclu-
sion that not enough people garden. We
could use more colour and growing things
to lighten our lives.
If you’ve never gardened, this eBook is
aimed at you. ‘From the Ground Up’ is a
gardening guide for people who want to
garden and even those who are fairly new
to it. It’s intended as a jumping-off point,
a book that will give you the basics, a good
grounding, if you will, and point you in
the right directions for specific issues.
Enjoy. And happy gardening.

er at Parkwood Estates, in search of gar-
dening tips for the beginning gardener.

Pickering family
celebrates
philanthropy
Charity birthday
party one part of plan
to give back
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- One Pickering family is cel-
ebrating a birthday by giving back.
While watching a documentary on the
charitable organization Right to Play,
Dunbarton High School student Michael
Keller, 16, was inspired to begin a chari-
table project. With his sister Alexandra’s
birthday fast approaching, he decided
to throw her a party with a philanthropic
twist.
“It’s a privilege to have what we have
and it’s good to give back,” Michael said of
the party, which will raise money for the
Michael ‘Pinball’ Clemons Foundation,
which will in turn be earmarked to host a
Halloween dinner for residents of Ronald
McDonald House.
“This makes a big impact because it’s
an actual event where we can volunteer
and see the money we raised being put to
work,” Michael said.
The entire family will be volunteering at
the event, for which they are already dis-
cussing possible costume options.
“I think it’s a great opportunity to reach
out to those children and families to put a
smile on their face,” said Michael’s father
Paul Keller.
Alexandra, who will be turning 14, was
on board with the idea for a charity party
immediately.
“I thought it was a really good idea
because it’s nice to have the chance to give
back,” she said.
Guests of her May 25 party at the
Pickering Recreation Complex are being
asked to bring monetary donations in lieu
of gifts. The pool party will include swim-
ming, snacks and prizes for the partici-
pants, generously provided by retailers in
the Pickering area.
“It was unbelievable the generosity of
everyone,” said Sandra Keller, Michael’s
mother.
“These days getting kids involved in
philanthropy at a young age is important
because hopefully they can pass it on. I
think it’s just such a good feeling.”
This isn’t Michael’s first charitable effort.
For his 11th birthday party he asked guests
to bring gifts for the Make a Wish Founda-
tion and ended up collecting more than 80
items to donate.
“I think when you’re young it helps
you get the message across a little bet-
ter,” Michael said of his charitable efforts.
“Maybe other people will look at you and
say ‘if he can do it, I can do it.’”

Hospital campaign
ends with more than
300 new donors
Moya Dillon
mdillon@durhamregion.com
AJAX -- Community members and hospital
staff rallied to help Rouge Valley Health Sys-
tem (RVHS) exceed its goal in signing up new
organ donors during an April campaign.
The Gift of 8 campaign asked residents and
staff of the Ajax-Pickering and Centenary
hospital sites to sign up as organ donors at
www.beadonor.ca, and possibly save up to
eight lives.
By the middle of the month organizers had
already exceeded their goal of 200 donors,
and upped their aim to 250, but quickly sur-
passed that as well, ending the campaign
with 324 new registered donors. “We’re
absolutely thrilled with the response that
both our staff and the community has given
as a result of this campaign,” said Janet Roth,
clinical practice leader, emergency services
for RVHS and one of the campaign organiz-
ers.
“Initially, we thought our target of 200 was
too high, as becoming an organ donor is
such a personal decision. We had hoped that
we would surpass 200, but the end result far
exceeded our expectations.”
In Ontario, more than 1,400 people are
waiting for a life-saving organ donation.
Every three days a person dies because there
is no organ available for them.
Pickering and Ajax have some of the lowest
rates of registered organ and tissue donors in
the province.
Pickering resident Brandon Gibson, 20,
knows first-hand the impact organ donation
can have as he awaits a second, life-saving
double-lung transplant.
In 2006, he received his first lung trans-
plant to counteract the effects of cystic fibro-
sis, and enjoyed several years of good health.
But in 2011, his body began rejecting the
lungs, and he has been waiting for new lungs
for the past 16 months.
“Organ donation truly saves lives, and
I’m proof of that,” he said. “Helping to raise
awareness on how organ and tissue dona-
tion can save and improve lives means that
more people can be saved.”
Brandon’s mother Muriel Gibson, a staff
member at RVHS, personally signed up doz-
ens of colleagues, friends and neighbours for
the campaign.
Although the campaign is over, residents
can still sign up as donors by visiting www.
beadonor.ca/rougevalleyajaxandpickering.

Ajax, Pickering answer call for organ donation registration
Organ donation in Durham Region
• In 2012 a record-breaking 1,053 organ trans-
plants were performed, up 11 per cent over
2011, and the third consecutive year to see
growth in the number of transplants performed.
Despite that growth, only 22 per cent of Ontario
residents were registered as donors at the end
of 2012, and 95 people on the transplant list
died waiting for organs last year.
• In Durham Region registration rates range from
a high of 31 per cent in Whitby and Uxbridge to
a low of 16 per cent in Ajax and Pickering, which
are ranked near the bottom of the pack across
the 179 communities listed at www.beadonor.ca.

Car crashes
into Ajax
home
AJAX -- A man has been charged
following a collision that sent
a car crashing into a house at
Ravenscroft and Westney roads
the morning of May 17.
Durham Regional Police were
called to the scene at around
11:30 a.m. after multiple people
called about the crash,
said Sgt. Nancy van
Rooy.
The driver of a
Dodge Journey
was turning
left on a yellow
light, and collid-
ed into a Toyota
sedan that was
driving through the
intersection, said Sgt.
van Rooy.
The impact sent the Toyota
through a fence before it crashed
into a home on the corner.
“No one was injured in the house
fortunately,” she said.
The driver of the Dodge had a
minor injury to his hand.
It appears the drivers of both
vehicles were the only occupants
in the vehicles, said Sgt. van Rooy.
There was damage to both
vehicles, as well as to the house,
including bricks damaged and the
fence broken, but no estimates
have been released.
The driver of the Dodge, Jason
Tesselaar, 40, of Port Hope, has
been charged with making an
unsafe turn.

Stop fighting
Mother Nature
To the editor:
Re: ‘Dandelions, dandelions everywhere’,
letter to the editor, durhamregion.com, May
14, 2013.
So, the letter writer’s delicate sensibili-
ties are affronted by the sight of so many
dandelions and feels the provincial pesti-
cide ban should be lifted.
Does the letter writer not realize that our
bees are dying by the thousands (in large
part due to pesticides) and that these tiny
creatures are responsible for pollinating a
full 70 per cent of our food supply?
If she took a closer look, she would see
these ‘weeds’ provide an important early
food source for bees coming out of a long
winter hibernation. Really, folks, when are
we going to try living with nature instead
of fighting against her?
I think someone needs to rub a dande-
lion under the letter writer’s chin and ask
her if she likes butter.

The ants go marching
through my backyard
I’m not into gardening. I wouldn’t care if
my front and back yards were paved over
with concrete; it would save me from having
to cut the grass every week.
But this past long weekend I noticed my
backyard was looking like the jungle through
which the Predator was chasing Arnold. So,
armed with my lawn mower I went to battle
the long grass and weeds.
Just before last winter I had set aside my
old air conditioning cover, forgetting about it
over that long winter. So when I picked it up
Saturday only to discover the mother of all
ant hills, I panicked.
How do you get rid of a giant ant hill?
I turned to YouTube for the answer and
got advice ranging from environmentally
friendly to nuclear bomb. The environmen-
tally friendly people suggested I let grass
grow around the ant hill, which will make
the temperature inside the hill climb, forcing
the ants to abandon ship. No dice.
Boiling water was a suggestion from
many people. Didn’t work. After numer-
ous kettles of scalding water were poured
over the little critters, they quickly returned
as if they were laughing at me, thanking
me for the warm bath. Old reliable, baking
soda and vinegar, which I thought was the
answer to everything, also proved useless.
So it was off to the store, for some Ant
Out, a white powdery substance which is
supposed to get rid of them. Not being con-
cerned about the wind, I began shaking the
powder on the hill, only to have the opening
clog up repeatedly. The wind changed direc-
tion a few times which led to me breathing
in a bit of the powder, but I’m still alive today
to write this, knock on wood. Two dustings
and the little varmints are still laughing at
me, going about their day-to-day business.
So before I go the full chemical route, if
you have a suggestion about getting rid of
an ant hill, please leave a comment.
-- Managing editor Mike Johnston can’t shake
the feeling that ants are crawling on his skin.

Invasion Financial literacy vital to Durham youth
Most of us likely wish,
on occasion, that there
really was a money
tree growing in our
backyard.
If so, it sure would reduce a lot of the
stress over bills and savings and invest-
ment returns. Short on a hydro bill?
Pull enough from the tree to top up the
account. Too much credit on the VISA
card? Reduce your balance with a quick
visit to the backyard.
If only it were so.
But it’s not and we all must live within
our means, keeping enough of our income
to pay the rent, buy groceries, heat the
home and, hopefully, save a little for the
future and whatever it may hold for us.
It’s encouraging, then, particularly in
today’s economy, to see a more ambitious
approach to financial literacy in elemen-
tary and high schools in Durham Region
to augment lessons on reading, writing
and arithmetic.
Though units on finance education are
sprinkled throughout the Ontario curric-
ulum, there is a growing consensus that
more must be taught, at an earlier age,
so that students graduate armed with
important basic financial management
skills: how to balance a chequing account,
learning about the wonders of compound
interest, the value of putting some savings
aside for retirement.
Most recently, some Durham Region stu-
dents participated in the Canadian Foun-
dation for Economic Education’s Let’s Talk
About Money Day in April, learning about
money and the importance of financial
planning. The organization offers both a
‘home’ program and a ‘school’ program.
Given the heightening debate in recent
months about a potential bubble in the
housing market, about Canadians piling
on debt using the equity in their homes,
about sky-high credit card balances and
mortgaged futures, such lessons in finan-
cial literacy couldn’t come at a more
opportune time.
Introducing children to financial litera-
cy at home can start with the proverbial
piggy bank.
Help them contribute early and often,
count the coins with them and record the
ever-growing number.
With more lessons being offered in Dur-
ham Region schools, it can all combine to
create financially savvy youth who enter
adulthood with a greater understanding
of money, credit and saving and set them
off on a more solid financial foundation.
Until botanists actually create a money
tree that can be planted in backyards,
financial knowledge and money literacy
will best guide us in our lives.

The essence of giving
I can’t give blood anymore. They won’t
take me. Apparently memberships in the
‘I Had Cancer’ Club and the ‘Blood Donor’
Club are mutually exclusive. And I get that.
I’m actually very glad that they’re being so
diligent. It’s just a little hard to take when I
see members of the ‘I Had Gonorrhea But
Never Told Anybody About It’ Club lining
up to drop off a pint.
I am sad about not being able to donate,
though. Very few things used to make me
feel as immediately honourable and won-
derful as giving blood. In a few easy min-
utes of lying down and painlessly draining
a little, I was able, in a very real way, to save
lives. To save lives! In what other way can
you do that? It always thrilled me a little to
know that there were people out there, per-
haps dozens of them, who had little bits of
me swirling around in their newly healthy
bloodstreams.
Being an organ donor is, of course, the
other really hands-on thing we can do to
help those in need. It’s absolutely mind-
blowing to me to think that someone could
be walking around living, loving and laugh-
ing because of my spare parts. How cool is
that? Unfortunately the organ donor thing
usually comes with the added caveat that
we be dead to pull it off. And that sort of
takes the fun out of it. Plus you don’t get
any cookies and juice.
Most of us can, and do, throw money at
charities and causes until the cows come
home and sometimes we feel good about
it and sometimes we don’t. It’s hard to
tell if you’re making any kind of a differ-
ence when you’re at arm’s length. When
you’re not just opening up your wallet
however, but opening a vein ... everything
changes. You are literally giving the gift of
life. Most people don’t care to watch, but
when you’re actually giving blood, if you
turn your head even slightly you can see it
flowing, drop by precious drop, into a clear
plastic bag. That’s a little container full of
continued existence for someone. A sack
of second chance. Outside of sex or read-
ing, I can’t think of a better way to spend a
few minutes.
Amazingly, there are many among us who
have never given blood. I remember talk-
ing to a firefighter friend of mine and being
absolutely gobsmacked that he had never,
ever donated. His reason? It gave him the
willies. Holy irony, Batman! Here was a guy
who spent his days wading through some
of the most horrific stuff imaginable and yet
the sight of his own blood made him green
around the gills. As far as I’m concerned,
he gets a pass because he makes a living
carrying babies and kittens out of burning
buildings but what possible excuse do the
rest of us have?
I was delighted when both of my chil-
dren finally came of age and were able to
become blood donors. I also remember,
very clearly, that they seemed to be slightly
different individuals when they came home
from their first donations. Even though
they were down a pint or two of blood, they
both seemed to glow just a little. They were
lit from the inside with that incandescence
that only comes from the knowledge that
you’ve just done something really impor-
tant.

APLet’s Talk
Our Facebook friends had plenty to say in
recent posts about a recent photo of a spi-
der posted by photographer Sabrina Byrnes.
Some wondered what type of spider it was,
others offered their suggestions, and still
others were just, well, grossed out...

Michaela Helliwell: Spi-
ders are an important part
of our eco system. They
are *mostly* harmless (we
do have a few spiders that
will leave nasty bites, but there are few of
those). Common house spiders eat flies,
mosquitos and other unwanted bugs
around your home. Welcome them and
embrace they symbiotic relationship.
Very safe; crime is low.
Somewhat safe; people need to take reasonable precautions.

BEHIND THE LENS
SCUGOG -- Having followed the team of trac-
tor with cultivator and another hauling a fertilizer
buggy along Reach Street I knew the Epsom-Utica
Foodgrains Bank farmers were gearing up to ready
their fields for sowing a new season. The dry spring
conditions at the time made for a very dusty job. Add
in a silhouette of the farmer watching his progress,
along with sunlight glancing off the metal and I had a
very cool photo.

Jennifer Hazzard Lewis:
I love spiders and always
catch them in a jar and let
them out.
Brian Jung: What many
people do not know, is that
Spiders common to the
southern Ontario region,
CANNOT bite you! Their
“fangs” are not strong
enough to pierce human skin. Just FYI
Shelley Skinkle-Auger:
Not a clue but it would’t be
photographed if I saw it.
Squish that bug!
Maryanne Deschamps:
Yuck, that is what I call it...
John Lewis: If it’s small, it
might be a black footed spi-
der. They are quite harmless.
BUT if it is medium or fairly
large, it could be a Brown
Recluse. Kill it ! Do not let it bite you. There
bite will cause severe illness, great swell-
ing, and rotting tissue (necrosis).
Martha Chisnall: They are
more afraid of you than you
are of them...LOL.......but
they are wonderful to have
around as they eat the
pesky mosquitoes and other bugs... :)

This is the first of a two-part series on money
management and the challenges faced by
many residents. Part one deals with young
people learning money management skills.
Part two deals with the challenges new
graduates face when their student loans
come due.
Kristen Calis
kcalis@durhamregion.com
DURHAM -- Gabby Cornacchia would
take the beach over a water park any day.
“There’s water, a beach, and you can
build sand castles for free,” said Gabby,
a Grade 6 student at St. Elizabeth Seton
Catholic School in Pickering.
Gabby came to this conclusion after she
and her peers in Berna-
dette Hummel’s class
searched out how
much it would cost a
family of four to visit
Great Wolf Lodge in
Niagara Falls.
Gabby and her part-
ner, Isla McLaugh-
lin, figured the visit
would cost them
$514.99. That’s tak-
ing into account one night in the hotel --
which includes entry to the park -- plus
gas, food, souvenirs and miscellaneous
costs.
“It was a lot,” said Gabby.
This lesson is one example of the money
topics students are learning in Ms. Hum-
mel’s class. Another example is a year-
end trip to a Metro grocery store, where
kids are asked to buy items with a bud-
get.
“The dialogue that comes from it is so
rich,” said Ms. Hummel.
At a young age, kids are starting to learn
it’s not free to get from Point A to Point
B, that feeding families requires money,
and the same goes for education, family
trips and having a roof over their heads.
This whirlwind of expenses often has
adults finding themselves constantly
playing catch-up, paying off one credit
card with another, and taking out money
loans from companies that will gladly
hand over cash, but charge maximum
interest.
Some have suggested specific courses
on financial literacy should be included
in Ontario’s curriculum to keep kids from
finding themselves struggling as adults.
Others think it would be too much.
“It will go right over their heads,” said
financial guru and Brighton resident,
Gail Vaz-Oxlade, who admits she’s of the
minority who feel this way.
This expert, who has written numer-
ous books on money and hosts TV shows
on the topic, feels a one or two-day crash
course in high school, before the stu-
dents apply to university, would be most
useful.
“It needs to be very focused on how it
applies to them,” she said.
Ontario’s curriculum includes finan-
cial literacy, but not as a separate course.
It’s spread throughout various courses
intended to help students develop skills
in critical thinking, decision-making and
problem solving. Resources are available
to help teachers connect financial litera-
cy topics across the curriculum to deep-
en students’ learning and make financial
literacy more relevant.
The Durham Catholic District School
Board’s numeracy consultant, Rob For-
tin, said it’s important to teach kids about
money at a young age, but in ways they
can relate.
“It builds confidence,” he said.
Mr. Fortin works with teachers and
helps them teach young students about
numeracy through the curriculum.
He helped schools take part in the
Canadian Founda-
tion for Economic
Education’s Let’s Talk About Money Day.
This day in April had schools in the great-
er areas of Toronto and Montreal sign up
for a day of several activities intended
to make learning about money and the
importance of financial planning inter-
esting to students.
In Durham’s Catholic high schools, ele-
ments can be found in Mathematics for
Work and Everyday Life in Grades 11
and 12, for example. Topics such as cell
phone plans, price per unit, budgets and
tracking investments are covered in vari-
ous courses, he said.
Mr. Fortin, Ms. Hummel and Ms. Vaz-
Oxlade agree on the importance of par-
ents teaching kids about money manage-
ment. To Mr. Fortin, teaching finances
should be done both in schools and at
home.
Ms. Vaz-Oxlade firmly believes what’s
taught at home sticks with kids.
“They hear what you’re saying and they
watch what you’re doing,” she said, add-
ing this means making sure parents do
what they say.
She said there are things every parent
should do to get their kids on the right
track financially.
“The biggest one is you have to give
your kids some money to work with,”
she said. “Because money in the abstract
doesn’t work. It doesn’t work for adults,
why would it work for kids?”
This expert started giving her daugh-
ter an allowance when she was six years
old -- $6 per week. There was no question
-- she was to put 10 per cent into savings
and tuck five per cent away for “sharing,”
such as charitable events at her school.
When her daughter was 12, Ms. Vaz-
Oxlade added on a clothing allowance,
which raised some eyebrows, she said.
But her daughter had to buy everything
except for sturdy outerwear and footwear,
stuff Ms. Vaz-Oxalde wanted to ensure
was of high enough quality.
“She became a very good shopper as a
result of it,” she said. “She knew how to
make choices.”
Hannah Foster, a 15 year-old Oshawa
resident with a part-time job at a library,
saves half of her earnings. She chalks her
money sense up to learning from her
mother, who took her grocery shopping
when she was a young girl and taught her
about needs versus wants.
“I like to save and have money put
away,” said Hannah, a Grade 9 student at
Eastdale Collegiate and Vocational Insti-
tute. “I do have a separate account for
when I’m older and I need that money for
school or car stuff, or whatever I plan on
doing. I typically put half in that account
and the other half I spend.”
Hannah has at least considered it will
cost money to go to post-secondary
school, but hasn’t really thought about
the debt she could get herself into if she
doesn’t manage her payments properly.
Many do not, and find themselves in
massive debt after taking out Ontario
Student Assistance Program loans if they
don’t have a proper plan to pay it off in
place.
“That’s the group I’m trying to reach
right now,” said Ms. Vaz-Oxlade, who
speaks to post-secondary students on the
best ways to pay off school debt.
Ms. Vaz-Oxlade will share some of her
tips in Part 2 of this series, which will
focus on the struggles of managing stu-
dent debt, and ways that local post-sec-
ondary institutions are helping students
to stay on top of it. Look out for it in an
upcoming edition and at durhamregion.

Mutombo
carves out
his own path
to Western
Carolina
Nephew of former
NBA star Dikembe earns
basketball scholarship
Brad Kelly
bkelly@durhamregion.com
PICKERING -- For the second time in his
young career, Haboubacar Mutombo is
going to get exactly what he is looking for.
The first time came when he left Pine
Ridge Secondary School in search of a
better basketball opportunity, and found
it at Notre Dame Preparatory School in
Fitchburg, Massachusetts. He’s looking
for the same for his university experience,
and has found it, landing a scholarship at
Western Carolina University.
First, the decision, to pack up and leave
his Pickering home following Grade 11,
for a shot at advancing his basketball
career:
“Competition-wise I just wanted to chal-
lenge myself. It was a better opportunity,”
he says of leaving home to attend the small
school that attracts some of the best talent
in the U.S. “People had the same goals as
me. They worked hard. The competition
level was good, the supporting cast, there
was a lot of good people there.
“I knew if I wanted to get exposed to the
basketball world, I would have to do down
there.”
The exposure was
certainly there, play-
ing at numerous
university campuses
in front of more than
100 NCAA coach-
es and recruiters at
times.
When it came time
to make a univer-
sity commitment,
the Catamounts
program at West-
ern Carolina was an
enticing one. After a
visit back in the fall,
the fit just seemed right.
“I was looking for a school that would
take care of me and where I would fit
properly and would most benefit me,
where I could produce the most,” says the
19 year old, naming off his list of criteria.
“After that the coaching staff, the educa-
tion, the location.
“They were on me from the beginning.
They showed so much support and said
they would love to have me. They just sold
me.”
He won’t be the first from his family to
enrol at Western Car-
olina. Older brother
Harouna was a stand-
out during his four
years there, leading
the team in scoring
in 2009 and being
named the Southern
Conference fresh-
man of the year. He is
now playing profes-
sionally in Serbia.
Mutombo, a
six-foot-five shoot-
ing guard, is hoping
to make an impact as
a freshman, not content to sit, watch and
learn in his first year.
“They told me if you work hard, you
can get far here,” he says. “They know I’m
going to play, but nothing is guaranteed.
They said you have to come down here
and work your butt off. I respected that. I
don’t like things given to me. It would be
nice, but I like earning things, especially a
starting spot there.”
His support system is rather unique. In
addition to his immediate family, Mutom-
bo benefitted from the advice of his uncle,
Dikembe, who had a lengthy and storied
career in the NBA.
“He gives me advice on how to manage
myself. When I was alone in the States he
knows how that feels. When I got home-
sick he said you just have to grind it out
and work hard,” he says of the guidance
from his mom’s little brother, who has
settled in Atlanta since retiring from the
NBA. Mutombo visited there three times
during the last school year while he was at
Notre Dame.
“He’s been a really big supporter for me.
He always has been, but we’re really close
now.”
While he was still undecided about the
courses he will be taking after signing his
letter of intent earlier this month, Mutom-
bo will be leaving in early August to enrol
at Western Carolina.
PICKERING -- Haboubacar Mutombo is a Pickering resident who just signed a bas-
ketball scholarship with Western Carolina University, an NCAA Division-I school. It’s
the same university his brother, Harouna, attended. The brothers are the nephews of
former NBA star Dikembe Mutombo. SaBrina ByrneS / Metroland

Jr. B lacrosse
Ajax Ironheads drop pair
of games to fall to .500
AJAX -- Just as quickly as a good start to the
season came, it was erased in short order for
the Ajax Ironheads.
The Jr. B lacrosse club opened the
season with a pair of wins on back-to-back
nights, but in the span of three days they are
back on even terms after losses of 8-7 to
Newmarket and 12-10 in Mimico.
The loss to Newmarket came in the
home opener in disappointing fashion, ahead
7-5 with under seven min-
utes to go, but
coughing up the
final three goals
of the game for
the loss. One of
the goals came
on the power,
another short-
handed, and the game winner with
just three seconds left in the game.
James Malloy had four points on two
goals and two assists, while Cam Mancini
matched that total with a goal and three help-
ers.
In Mimico on Friday night the Ironheads
battled back from a pair of five goal deficits,
trailing 5-0 and 7-2, pulled to within one sev-
eral times but couldn’t draw even in an even-
tual 12-10 loss.
Shane Takahashi had two goals and two
assists, Adam Kelusky a hat trick and one
helper, and Malloy a goal and three assists to
lead the offence.
Wednesday the Ironheads host the Clar-
ington Green Gaels at 8 p.m. at the Ajax
Community Centre, followed by a trip to Hal-
ton Hills on Saturday.

AP McColm relishes
chance to race
close to home
Shawn Cayley
scayley@durhamregion.com
BOWMANVILLE -- Joey McColm didn’t get
the result he was looking for, but the Dur-
ham Region resident still savored the expe-
rience of opening the NASCAR Canadian
Tire Series season right in his own back
yard over the weekend.
McColm was behind the wheel of the No.
8 Canada’s Best Store Fixtures Chevrolet
for Sunday’s season opener at Canadian
Tire Motorsport Park, and though a brake
problem ended his day early, the impor-
tance of racing so close to home wasn’t lost
on the 27-year-old Ajax native, who recent-
ly moved to Newcastle.
“Being only 10 minutes from Mosport, it
was important for us to be here. It’s such a
cool race track, especially now as Canadi-
an Tire Motorsport Park. The new owner-
ship and facility is just fantastic. Couldn’t
be happier to be here,” McColm said.
The 51-lap race on the 2.45 mile track was
won by Louis-Philippe Dumoulin, who
held off Jeff Lapcevich and Jason Hatha-
way, while McColm’s day finished 11 laps
in due to the brake issue. He was one of 10
drivers to not finish the race due to a vari-
ety of reasons.
McColm, who was introduced to rac-
ing through go-karts as a teenager by his
father, is confident that finishes of that ilk
won’t be the norm this season.
“This car is capable of being at the front,”
he said, while adding that need for addi-
tional sponsorship continues to hover.
Aside from that initial introduction into
racing by his father, McColm said his fas-
cination with racing is in part due to his
engineering background and in turn, it was
his interest in racing that led him to pursue
engineering.
“Racing got me motivated to go to school
and get that background,” he said. “I pride
myself in working on the cars and work-
ing towards ... what we’re trying to do with
NASCAR in Canada.”
Looking ahead, McColm admits that he
hopes to one day be racing full-time in
the United States, with the next step being
either the NASCAR Truck Series or Nation-
wide Series. However, he knows that he and
the other drivers currently in the Canadian
Tire Series have a unique opportunity in
front of them at the moment.
“First and foremost, I want to be a pioneer
here in NASCAR Canada, to make some
moves to create a sustainable (future),” he
said.
The 12-race series resumes on June 15
with a race at Delaware Speedway and it
will make a return trip to Bowmanville
Sept. 1.

In Loving
Memory of
My Beautiful
Daughter
The day you had to leave,
I felt as though my heart broke
in a million pieces
I know that I could never be
the same person because part of me
went with you.
You were my best friend, my protector
and my constant companion.
How proud you made me feel
to be the mother of a such kind
and courageous young woman.
The strength you showed
when you lost your only child
at age of 18 years was unbelievable.
Only your family and closest friends
knew the heartache you hid
behind your beautiful smile.
I know I am fortunate that I still have
family who love and care for me.
However, the pain of losing you
is with me always.
Each night I gently kiss your picture
and hold you close awhile
When my tears start to flow, I'll tell
you how I will love and miss you
Until my final hour on this earth.

He gently closed his weary eyes
And whispered "Peace Be Thine"
KENT, James Sydney, September 9, 1952 -
May 16, 2013 - It is with profound sadness
that we say goodbye to Jim Kent, beloved
husband of Kim (Brewster) and loving father
of Chris and Paul. For over 35 years Jim
fought an ongoing battle with a variety of
cancers. To the very end, he faced the
challenges, the hopes, and the setbacks with
courage, determination and dignity. In spite
of his illnesses, he lived a full and active life,
albeit too short. He was a devoted husband
and father, a respected bank manager
(Scotiabank), a supportive volunteer for
young hockey players, an avid athlete and
outdoorsman. Predeceased by his parents
William and Dorothy, he will be deeply
missed by his wife and best friend Kim, his
sons Christopher and Paul, his siblings
Rosemary, Judy and Bob, and his brother-
and-sister-in-law Steve and Deb Brewster.
Many thanks to the numerous teams of
doctors and nurses at Princess Margaret, the
London Regional Cancer Centre, Kingston
General, and local medical practitioners for
their years of support and care. As per Jim’s
wishes, his body has been donated to assist
in cancer research. Please join us on
Thursday, May 23rd at Deer Creek Golf Club, 2700 Audley Rd. N., Ajax, ON L1Z 1T7
from 4-9pm, to celebrate his life. In lieu of
flowers, a Gift of your memories and stories
of Jim’s life would be very appreciated by the
family. Please send to kimekent@gmail.com
or bring along to the Celebration.
